St Catherine's Faire - Medieval and Renaissance Event

Tue Jul 01, 2008 11:03 am by angellsnz

Caterine de Vantier and myself, Anna de Witte (angellsnz), of the bountiful Barony of
Ildhafn (Auckland), wish to advertise to you that the annual celebration known as St
Catherine's Faire, will in this year 2008 (Anno Societas 43) be held over the
summer months, from the date of Friday the 5th of December to the date of
Sunday the 7th of December.

The event will be located at the fine venue of Motu Moana, in the coastal
area of Ildhafn known as Blockhouse Bay.

The event will encompass all the finer attributes of the 16th century: War,
intrigue, dance, gluttony, debauchery.... We mean, *ahem*, a fine array of
western combative forms, learning in the various arts and sciences,
chivalry, courtesy, dancing, feasting, and much general merriment,
appropriate for both young and old alike.

Booking and payment details will follow shortly. We would advise you to
note down the dates of this event now, to ensure that your calendar is fully
cleared of other, lesser activities in preparation to attend this mighty
event.

Yours in service,

Anna de Witte and Caterine de Vantier

p.s. This is a fully "garbed" medieval and renaissance event. If you go to www.ildhafn.sca.org there is more information about the group. If you are interested in historical re-enactment, there are other smaller events happening before St Catherine's Faire. There are also a weekly dance and rapier practices, where you are able to meet some of the members in a less formal arena. We also have a sewing circle that happens most sundays. If you would like to know more just pm me. Angellsnz
